Harry and Meghan were declared icons in 2021: 'Blessed by birth, burned by glory'
In a world where everyone has an opinion about people they don’t know, the Duke and Duchess sympathize with those they don’t know. They don't just give an opinion, they run towards the fights
"Everyone remembers that famous interview of Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, at the time he was an Apache helicopter gunner," World Central Kitchen founder Jose Andres told Time100. He was sitting near an Afghan airport at the time, commenting on the news, when a bang was heard. At that moment, a group of soldiers was seen breaking through behind him, and he then tore off the microphone and ran into action.
That same feeling is now driven by Meghan, analyzes Andres, who has long worked as a humanitarian and a powerful advocate for women’s rights.
"This kind of work feeds my soul," Markle wrote in her 2016 essay.
'They don't enjoy their happiness and wealth, they empathize and work for others'
These elections for the young duke and duchess were not an easy choice, given that they were blessed with birth and talent, and burned by glory, Andres writes and concludes - it would be much easier for them to enjoy the happiness they have and remain silent.
"But they don't. They turn compassion into boots and walk the right path on earth through their Archewell Foundation. They give a voice to those who have no voice, hand in hand with nonprofit partners, they take risks to help those in need.
In a world where everyone has an opinion about people they don’t know, the Duke and Duchess sympathize with those they don’t know. They don't just give an opinion, they run towards the fights ", concludes Andres for TIME100.
